Vangoghed Nose

I cut off my nose
And I sent it to you
Now I don’t smell you 
Anymore,
Like I used to –
The cigarette smoke
The Big Red breath
The smell of your cologne
It was the Black Death –
It was harder to 
Breathe after that.

But what did you care?
You didn’t want any mail
You didn’t even appreciate
The symbolism there.
I VanGoghed you   
You ignorant prick
What didn’t you get?
It’s a nose you coud pick 
The least you could have done
Is sent my nose back
But instead you fed 
My nose
To your cat
